Technology has become an integral part of how businesses operate today. As such, it's no longer just the purview or even responsibility for CIOs and CTOs to oversee technology decisions. Now, these roles are shared across all members within a company’s c-suite so that data can be used as fuel towards successful strategies in both short term business growth opportunities, but also long-lasting ones like increasing efficiency through automation efforts, which will cut costs significantly over time due increased profitability margins.
Technology has crept into the inner workings of every level of a company. With an increased responsibility to collaborate across departments in order for their investments to not only match but also support what's going on outside, they can affect change through technological means too. The impact of technology on a business is undeniable. In a recent EY survey, more than half of people believe this change will have the greatest effect in terms of accelerating innovation, with some even arguing it’s changed how they do everything from marketing to hiring practices.
The C-suite is a place where technology decisions used to be made in isolation. However, with the infiltration of tech into every facet and department within an organization, it’s now crucial for CEOs' input on which technologies they want to deploy so that their investments match those goals while also leveraging collaboration across departments -to have maximum impact.
Technology is now the driving force that brings executives together. The new generation of technology, such as cloud services and big data analytics are changing how businesses operate; C-suite members from finance all way up through CEO level have become invested in these technologies which make them an integral part for their organization's success—everyone needs to collaborate if there’s any hope at meeting those demands.
Digital is no longer just the realm of the CTO or CIO. In our new and ever-evolving digital landscape, the entire C-suite must collaborate to meet the new demands. No matter your role, find out what you need to know as a leader to drive digital strategy. Read more here.
